Haiti Rewired planning

Hey, I thought I'd just throw this post out to start a conversation about what we should be doing on *this forum*. Want to critique the design? Think we should open a chat room? Do we need to add a space for files, photos, etc? Let's talk about it here.

We also know that there are some things about the design of the site that are frustrating. Posts don't show up perfectly formatted and there isn't a lot of design flexibility. We're working on it and we'll iterate as fast as we can.

Another thing I've been thinking about is customizing the profile questions. We can add questions (required or optional) that allow one-line answers or longer. Perhaps we can add something like "Provide a brief bio." These answers, I believe, display by default in the left column of the profile page.

Also - I think we should turn on groups. Not sure how much the groups organization should be managed, or just allow it to be freeform.

Hi. Was wondering if, when the site gets bigger, under profile questions it wouldn't be useful to have a checkbox list (or similar) of possible specialties - Ag, PR, IT, etc. so that anyone needed something specific they could search the directory for people with that skill?
